With 50,000 copies sold in Europe and Asia, now available in English, Who's the Monster? tells the horrifying stories of five of the world's most famous murderers, and a professor who met them all. These five monsters include Charles Manson, whose brutal slaughters brought an end to the swinging sixties, Dorothea Puente and her bone-filled garden, Issei Sagawa's cannibal feast in Paris, Wayne Lo's violent school shooting and Peter Lundin, who cracked his mother's neck with his bare hands.

The five stories differ but the murders have led to the same result: they've turned anonymous people into international superstars, creating attractive business partners and money-making industries.

Professor and best-selling author Micael Dahlen has travelled the globe and interviewed these five notorious killers. Adding his groundbreaking research to these portraits, his nonfiction book sets out to discover the true meaning of what he has coined, “Mansonomics”, or the dark side of fan culture. But it doesn't stop there. In the end, he is forced to look at himself in the mirror.
What is at the root of our cultural fascination with murder, whether in popular movies, books, and in our own minds? Is the death threat against the author himself perfectly normal? What if murdering someone is the easiest way to success?
